Wrapping around the courtyard at the centre of the busy campus, BDP’s stunning design seamlessly integrates new and existing buildings, creating a four-storey cloister that reflects a unique sense of culture and place. ANGLIA RUSKIN UNIVERSITY ANGLIA RUSKIN UNIVERSITY Different sized lecture pods, crowned with roof terraces, are strategically placed to break up the façade and create a modern, welcoming, environment where students can study or relax between lectures. Architect BDP, London Telephone +44 (0) 20 7812 8000 www.BDP.com 08 Colour was key to lifting the design and reinforcing a young modern style. After much discussion, BDP chose to clad the pods with specially-manufactured Ibstock glazed slips in a range of vibrant colours that contrast with the timber cladding and the Ibstock Vitessa White brickwork of the main elevation to create exciting colour highlights to both internal and external spaces. To create smooth curves, the drums were constructed in blockwork and faced with fully-bonded glazed brick slips, stack bonded to minimise the need for cut bricks and to simplify detailing – especially on the narrow vertical pillars. BRICK Blue, Red, Orange,Yellow, Grey Glazed © David Barbour/BDP 09 Punching well above its weight, this outstanding building is a previous winner of Best Housing Development (1-5 units) in the BDA Brick Awards. 31-32 Dolben Street, Southwark Bespoke Copper Glazed bricks provide an unexpected shimmering surface to street elevations. BRICK Ibstock Bespoke Copper Glazed DOLBEN STREET DOLBEN STREET A curved six-storey block occupying a tight urban site in the once struggling London neighbourhood of Southwark, 31-32 Dolben Street challenges convention, with its narrow curved design and street elevations of shimmering Bespoke Copper Glazed brick. Facing onto an informal urban square, the dynamic façade of the mixed retail and apartment development is punctuated with irregularly positioned windows, set in deep reveals to reinforce the character and quality of the design. 10 To give the building additional presence in its mixed commercial, light industrial and residential context, architects, Association of Ideas, introduced an unexpected shimmering surface to the two dominant street elevations using Bespoke Copper Glazed bricks. Architect Association of Ideas, Richmond, London Telephone +44 (0) 20 8939 2200 www.aoi.uk.com 11 Arsenal Football Club, Emirates Stadium Private House, Wimbledon Ibstock Burgundy Glazed bricks, chosen to reflect the Club’s original maroon strip, contrast with the building’s patinated copper skin. White Glazed bricks give Edwardian house extension a modern aesthetic. BRICK Ibstock White Glazed PRIVATE HOUSE, WIMBLEDON ARSENAL FOOTBALL CLUB Architect Populous (formerly HOK Sport) Telephone +44 (0) 208 874 7666 www.populous.com This Edwardian terrace in South London has been extended and completely remodelled to provide modern open-plan living for the client, a kitchenware design specialist. To reflect the clean lines of the new interior, architects, Ade Architecture, chose White Glazed bricks to frame the impressive rear elevation, Perched above a pedestrian bridge, Arsenal FC’s entrance provides a striking ‘gateway’ to the Club’s Emirates Football Stadium. The muted palette of glass, steel and dark blockwork is finished overall with a striking continuous patinated copper skin. To contrast the vivid green of the copper and reflect Arsenal’s distinctive historical strip, architects, Populous, chose Burgundy Glazed bricks to accent key areas around the ticket office and main entrance. 12 BRICK Ibstock Burgundy Glazed Architect Ade Architecture, London Telephone +44 (0) 20 7993 8542 www.Ade-architecture.co.uk with its feature 6-metre high glazed doors that span the first floor and new lower ground floor. A new feature garden wall, constructed in the same White Glazed brick, serves to add balance to the scheme. 13 South Acton Housing Scheme, West London The latest phase of redevelopment for the sprawling East Acton Housing Scheme aims to create an elegant new gateway to South Acton, with a combination of elegant 8 to 10 storey residential blocks, arranged around a south facing courtyard, framing the streets and new station square. SOUTH ACTON HOUSING SCHEME SOUTH ACTON HOUSING SCHEME The architect’s vision was of simple buildings, with variations in character and materials to add distinction and reflect the plethora of colours and finishes of surrounding new developments. This has been achieved by the use of Ibstock bricks throughout, with Staffordshire Slate Blue Smooth and Arundel Yellow contrasted with large elevations of Glazed bricks in an exciting palette of colours. Architects PRP Architects Telephone +44 (0) 20 7653 1200 [email protected] 14 The large panels of glazed brickwork serve to articulate the buildings, whilst breaking down their perceived mass and reinforcing the distinction between the consistent street frontage and the softer, more playful courtyard elevations. BRICK Sky Blue, bespoke Pale Mint, White Glazed 15 Warren Apartments, Tulse Hill Black and White Glazed brick elevations make this stunning building glimmer in the afternoon sun. WARREN APARTMENTS WARREN APARTMENTS Constructed over two and three storeys, this landmark apartment and office building sits in an established residential context, alongside Tulse Hill’s historic Railway Station, in an area characterised by classic Victorian brick architecture. The building design and materials have been chosen to articulate an urban identity, whilst clearly announcing its presence within the established context. Architects Groves Natcheva Architects Telephone +44 (0) 20 7937 7772 www.grovesnatcheva.com The façade of Black and White Glazed bricks, broken down in sections to reference the character of small scale industrial architecture, is punctuated only by areas of large single pane glass windows and rectangular, industrial scale glazing, framed in matching black and white to reinforce the pragmatic design. The façade treatments and close attention to detail, including 1:1 design drawings and complex brick laying with minimal margin for error, give the building strong presence on the prominent site. BRICK Ibstock Black & White Glazed Black and white glazed bricks were chosen for the industrial quality which they imbue, which was in keeping with the austere, urban environment in which the building sits.The bricks give body and density to the building, as well as an essential sculptural quality. Murray Groves, Groves Natcheva 16 Photographs courtesy of Groves Natcheva 17 Architects Pitman Tozer Telephone +44 (0) 20 3214 3255 www.pitmantozer.com Mint Street, Bethnal Green Built alongside a railway viaduct in Bethnal Green, this mixed use housing scheme, for the Peabody Trust, provides a mix of affordable rent units over 5 storeys, topped by two floors of luxury private flats and penthouses. BRICK Ibstock Mint Glazed MINT STREET MINT STREET The stunning £11 million building, which curves in line with the railway viaduct, is inspired by the simple design of Peabody’s original 1860’s schemes, with a limited palette of materials and just the occasional decorative flourish. Cantilevered and recessed storeys and large windows break up the visual mass of the building, which is characterised by the ‘playful’ use of brickwork to all elevations. On Mint Street, overlooking the railway, Mint Glazed bricks have been employed to the ground and first floors to create a distinctive base, contrasting with the Staffordshire Blue Brindle Smooth bricks to the four storeys above, which cantilever out beyond the line of the base, emphasising the horizontal nature of the street elevation. The clever use of recessed brick banding serves to accentuate the curve of the building. To the north western elevation, overlooking the courtyard and play area, the façade is softened by the use of Pearl Smooth White, echoing the tradition of light brickwork to lightwells and internal courtyards. 18 19 West Hampstead Station Glazed bricks locate the building and integrate the approach to the main concourse. BRICK Landolt + Brown’s pioneering design and brickwork ensured this project first place in the annual BDA Brick Awards for the most Innovative Use of Brick and Clay Products. Ibstock Umbra Sawtooth Glazed graduated shades of bespoke Green WEST HAMPSTEAD STATION WEST HAMPSTEAD STATION Alongside an avenue of protected lime trees, West Hampstead’s new Thameslink station is located away from the main street frontage and partially obscured from view. Architects Landolt + Brown, London SE1 Telephone +44 (0) 20 7357 9547 www.landoltandbrown.com To improve visibility and provide a public approach, the existing sloping embankment has been levelled to make way for a 100 metre linear pavement, backed by a 2 metre high palisade wall. Inspired by the foliage of the adjacent lime trees, architects, Landolt + Brown, chose Umbra Sawtooth Glazed bricks, in various shades of green, to create a strikingly rich texture for the wall and link it seamlessly into the main building concourse. At night, luminaires concealed in the parapet gently wash the wall with light and create a striking three-dimensional backdrop. 20 21 Science Building, Stroud Belmont Preparatory School, Mill Hill Pure white glazed bricks protect the structure and define the building’s function. Architect, Maria Gasparian, created this colourful bench in Glazed bricks to mark the centenary of the school. Red, Blue,Yellow and Green Glazed bricks, chosen to represent the different Belmont School houses, are bonded in an interlocking puzzle composition to express interaction and reflect the varied multicultural backgrounds of the Belmont students. Inserts of hand-made tiles feature parts of the school crest and other school motifs. With external wall design dictating an outer leaf of just ½-brick thickness and the client requiring high quality finishing and detailing, Ibstock worked with the architect to provide special glazed bricks to unusually tight dimensional and colour tolerances. To produce the quality of aesthetic required, the standard 10mm brick joint was rejected in favour of a demanding 4mm joint, with all stretcher bricks manufactured ‘pistol’ format with 12mm bed joints at the rear to accommodate wall ties. Architects Designscape Telephone +44 (0) 1225 858 500 www.dscape.co.uk 22 BELMONT PREPARATORY SCHOOL SCIENCE BUILDING The futuristic lines of this distinctive building help define its use as a workspace for one of the country’s leading artists. The versatility of the glazed bricks is clearly demonstrated in the variety of formats required, with special angled bricks for the pointed end of the building, precast copings, glazed headers for corners and jambs and a range of special sizes to accommodate the different design features. Architect Maria Gasparian BRICK Ibstock White Glazed A popular meeting point during school breaks, the bench is designed in stepped format on a sloping site, with levels comfortable for all ages. Bullnose bricks at the edges help to create an exciting visual and ensure additional safety and comfort for children using, mounting and dismounting the bench.
